The acting was not bad but not memorable. The story was very typical.. There was no chemistry between the leads and the romance felt forced. I actually like the ending. Production-wise locations were very beautiful. Scenery gave a sense of peace of mind, a space to reflect. Not a masterpiece but very watchable. Not to re-watch twice.

Not sure what else to write. But I feel the story is very mundane, sometimes the movie gets very boring. The chemistry between the leads was none existent.

Lonely hearts

Present Perfect, the feature movie which was based on this short film, was my first thai movie and I liked it very much but I never saw the original before. It is different as it takes place in Thailand and not Japan like the feature. But the core story is the same.

Two men meet in the middle of nowhere. One is escaping a broken heart, and the other is trying to muster up the courage to get married. The first one is openly gay, the second one is still hiding in closet, or at least his gay side! They become friends and then more while healing and growing.

The opening credits have Bangkok University logo so if I remember correctly this is a student movie. And for a student movie it is beautifully made: the production values are high is spite of limited budged. The cinematography is stunning, the sets are beautiful (those little houses have amazing architecture), editing smooth and the music correct. The actors seem inexperienced but they pulled it off nicely in spite of minimal chemistry. There are no explicit scenes, everything is in the glances and gestures: the hottes scene we got is a chaste hug but it is fairly obvious what happened. This only proves the fact that good writing does not need in-your-face NC scenes to make a story about love. Nevertheless, the story draws the audience in and we wish to see more of these characters. Which we got in two feature films, I recommend you watch!

The cast
Oat - Supaponpong Jarin
